Abstract

This article aims to develop a linguodidactic model of teaching professional English in the field of law and jurisprudence. This linguodidactic model is conceptually based on a combination of cognitive and practical activity methods as well as basic theoretical statements of English for Special Purposes (EOS) methodology. The model focuses on the outcome of the university learning process - training specialists with a high level of communicative competence in English, ready to carry out professional activities, and capable of self-improvement in the knowledge, skills, and abilities acquired. To ensure the functioning of this linguodidactic model, it is necessary to focus on the specific educational needs of the student audience and the level of their language skills, situational and thematic training organization, involving the implementation of interactive tasks in real situations of professional communication; consistent implementation of practical, conditional, and speech exercises aimed at forming necessary language skills and speech abilities. The proposed training model is a collection of conceptual foundations, structural and functional elements, and technologies for the complex development of cognitive and practical independence in students. As a result, the successful acquisition of communicative competence in the field of a professional foreign language is ensured by relying on authentic sources when developing didactic materials, as well as the extensive use of information technologies and game simulations, allowing the learning process to be closer to the actual situation in the professional sphere and facilitating the efficient formation of professional and communicative skills of the students.
